The Mole-People have begun their incursion. Let us send them back into the ground. One way or another.
Sinkhole doesn't explain the debris around it. something pushed up the soil before collapsing back in.Remus said:Sinkhole. Just another side effect of the underground iceflows melting and moving on. In other words, global warming! Maybe they can find a thawed out prehistoric lobster creature in the pit like China did.
So just break out a assload of guns like they did in the movie?Zachary Amaranth said:That's absurd. It's the creatures from that documentary, Tremors.Fiz_The_Toaster said:It was clearly made by a legion of Dugtrio.
No no no... When Lavos surfaces, he's feasted upon the energy of a planet and wrecks the entire surface, leaving a dead and gutted world. and the area isn't big enough or cataclysmic enough to be a point of entry either. We're fine.Jhonie said:Well...
This isn't terrifying at all or anything...

Funnily enough, the science of the two fields (astronomy and geology), as you might guess, are completely different. Astronomy has many lightyears of completely or nearly completely empty space between earth and the observable phenomenon, and deals with large scale averages structures (stelar structure for example), geologic data is obscured by many meters (or kilometres) of sediments and rock, meaning that we either have to dig for data, or else use methods such as ground penetrating radar to understand subsurface structures. We are also trying to date different parts of the same structure to establish relative ages and subsurface structure, a difficult task for sure. isotopic compositions (best way of dating stuff) can be gathered easily from stelar structures through telescopes because those elements are energised and the emitted radiation of individual isotopes has characteristic spectral emission lines. Geology is more complicated, we have to collect the samples, energise and atomise them in a spectrometer, to obtain isotopic measurements and therefore date the sediments or rocks.michael87cn said:See that ball of gas, floating BILLIONS of miles away?

*a giant hole forms in the ground*
"Duuuuuuuuuh, we dunno! What is it?" "oh but I could tell you how old it is by looking at it!"
science, proving just how bad it is!
Putting aside the jokes, you're mistaken if you believe a giant hole in the ground that wasn't there before is nothing. Strange cave-ins would be categorized under 'large geological event', and therefore science. 195 feet across and 300 deep is rather unusual, an isolated underground cavern with - apparently - an icy lake, and you can see there's more tunnels. I'm sorry, but that's interesting. Interest makes news.Syan said:Burnly
